Can you smell it? Spring is in the air! For many of us, springtime is one of the most beautiful times of the year-with blooming trees and flower buds. However, if you can’t quite smell spring yet, you may be one of the millions of people who have seasonal allergies. For allergy sufferers, springtime can also mean congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose and other bothersome symptoms which can make you miserable.
Each year, 35 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies (or also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis). This year, if you are tired of the annual ritual of sniffling, sneezing, and daily dosage of Claritin or Benadryl and would like to treat the root cause of your allergies, try acupuncture!
Although Western medicine is very effective at treating the allergic response, side effects such as drowsiness and immune suppression have led many to seek a safer and more natural approach to treating seasonal allergies. Acupuncture treats seasonal allergies by addressing the person’s acute symptoms and provides relief, while simultaneously treating the underlying immune imbalance, which is one of the main root causes of a person’s allergies.
Nip your allergies in the bud this spring with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine!
